Bedside Rounds

At the University of Sto. Tomas Hospital hospital morning rounds have traditionally been “teaching” rounds. Typically, attending physicians, in this case a nephrologist in the person of Dr. Froilan De Leon, six to eight residents and several interns and students are present as they move from bed to bed and discuss the details of a patient’s case. Patients are in private or semiprivate cubicles, separated by cloth drapes. Usually physicians inform patients of the purpose of our bedside rounding.
